Default towing a sailplane trailer / vehicle

No problems with my Outback - '95 and '02 - both automatics.
Mileage did suck in hilly terrain. I put some extra air in the tires
to stiffen things up a bit.
Second the brakes comment.

Hello all. I am looking to buy a new vehicle, mainly for work related
reasons. Something like an AWD Subaru Outback would be perfect for
work.

So I'm wondering what you all have to say about towing my sailplane
trailer with a Subaru Outback, which is a 4 cylinder vehicle. That's
the issue I need answered. Would a 4 cylinder do the job? Or would it
tear up the transmission.

I don't want a lager vehicle for MPG reasons.

Thanks, Ryan
